Less than 24 hours before Kendall Jenner stepped her stiletto-clad foot on the 2026 Met Gala red carpet, she went to a pre-ball party in a vintage Mugler Little Black Dress. Naturally, the look from the brand’s Fall ‘93 collection, fit with bow accents, a plunging neckline, and an asymmetric leg slit, begged the question: Was it a teaser for what Jenner would wear the following day? Or a red—in this case, black—herring to throw fans of the reality star-slash-supermodel off the scent?
Turns out, it was just a very chic LBD, unrelated to the statuesque Gap by Zac Posen gown Jenner ended up wearing to the 2026 Met Gala. Styled by long-time fashion collaborator Dani Michelle, Jenner's look was a head-on reference to this year’s “Fashion Is Art” dress code head-on.
